Chapter 13

The Jade Chamber

The traveler and already known the password for ascending upwards however Keqing was the one that led them to it, so there was really no need for the traveler to say the password. Kaveh couldn't help but stumble upon a Glaze lily, "it's so pretty!" Kaveh said adoring it's light blue petals. Kaveh had to have had a good eye for ancient flowers or something since he would always manage to find one and mention how beautiful they were to Alhaitham, Tighnari, Cyno, or Collei even.

Once they ascended the jade chamber Keqing told Kaveh something. "Lady Ningguang will be in her office if you remember where that is luckily if not Paimon and traveler can help since they've been here." Keqing walked away elegantly as if she had to also attended to other matters to. Paimon quickly flew in as the traveler followed they walked around for awhile, well Paimon flew, but besides that Ningguang's office was nearby so they didn't have to walk much.

"Ningguang were hereee!" said Paimon as she waved hello. "why hello there traveler, Paimon, oh and friends. From Sumeru I suppose?" Ningguang said as she got up from her desk walking towards them with elegance. Kaveh appeared behind them still fascinated since it had been years since he came it definitely different yet still held the same glory and elegance as before Kaveh was looking around only to lay eyes on Ningguang "You must be Kaveh the architect?" asked Ningguang even though she knew who he was already. "yes." Kaveh said still admiring the decorations for the inside. Kaveh tries to be formal even as to bowing down since this was the ruler if Liyue. "No need to act so formal, we've already met before. Plus, if it wasn't for you leaving those extra blueprints, we would have to hire someone to completely draw them over when the rebuilding of the jade chamber came." Ningguang explained Alhaitham looked around though he was never one to think about design or anything somewhat artsy. He could tell the chamber did hold it's elegance and beauty. "And you must be the acting grand sage, we have some things to discuss but before that you may call me Ningguang." Ningguang explained. "well then, I'm Alhaitham and you may call me just that." Alhaitham said he disliked the acting grand sage title since It was first of all to long and well yeah thats it pretty much it but still. Tighnari looked around he saw beautiful ting Inazuman Sakuras in pots they definitely fit there it looked beautiful. Cyno kept looking around in awe and quickly pulled out his casket of tomes to see if any big name duelers were here. Tighnari noticed but couldn't do anything to stop him anyways. Collei looked around at the beauty it had from the finest wood to the most beautiful gold possible everything was exact and beautifully well made.

Soon after wards Ningguang got one of her assistants to lead them to their rooms. (they got one for nilou and told her don't worry.) All of them were told the regular password so they could get up there without troubles.

It started to get late and the traveler told Kaveh and Alhaitham she was heading out now to 3rd round knockout. Since they wanted to have a little duel there, will Kaveh did. Lumine and Paimon did go to Tighnari, Cyno and Collei to ask if they wanted to join however they already full from eating outside while walking around. With that Kaveh, Alhaitham, Lumine, And Paimon headed out to 3rd round knockout, to meet Zhongli. They found Zhongli there already ordering food when they went to sit down.
